In order to have a cookie work across multiple subdomains, you need to make
sure that there is a site-wide P3P privacy policy and compact privacy
policy... otherwise your cookies from sales.acme.com will be blocked as '3rd
party cookies' if a user is on the marketing.acme.com site.
On a linux / apache server this can be accomplished by modifying the
server's main httpd.conf file; on a windows server you can specify in the
customer headers field.

Subject: cookie sharing
Is there anything in P3P that prevents the sharing of the same cookie across
subdomains? example: sales.acme.com and marketing.acme.com use the same
cookie and policy.
I have searched through a lot of the documentation and cannot find anything,
yet I have been told by a number of other developers that cookie sharing is
(or will be) prohibited by P3P.
Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
